I decided to push my boundaries (concept-wise) recently and approached Sheara and Spirit Activewear SA to see if they were keen to collaborate. Spirit Activewear makes the most amazing full piece swimwear and, after purchasing one last year I just knew I HAD to shoot her newer designs on a model. Personally, I often find…

While visiting JHB I shot with Ryan Tyack for his entry photos for the Mens Health Cover Competition. This was Ryan’s first shoot and he was lucky enough to be styled and directed by our good friend – Wardah from @fabufit.co.za. We got some awesome shots from this shoot & we had such fun on…

I shot for Tracey Serfontein last month as she launched her exciting new colours which are now available in her salon. Simone was one of her gorgeous models and opted for the soft lilac colour which complimented my shoot location perfectly. We shoot together often so capturing this story with Simone and Kimlyn was effortless and…

I recently shot a model portfolio just in time for the summer season. We met on a perfect warm morning and snapped a few images in the streets, moving to the beach quickly before the Cape Town breeze arrived. Monde and I were on the same page when it came to shooting certain poses and…

I photographed Nikolai on an icy winter morning in the streets of Stellenbosch. This was his first professional photoshoot and he did extremely well. It makes a huge difference when a model is professional on set and prepares for the shoot before hand. This makes the shoot run smoothly with poses, outfits and locations –…

Tanika and I met up to shoot a fun concept one weekday evening. We wanted to shoot something different to her regular surf/beach/bikini photos so we threw in a gorgeous white horse, some awesome Billabong clothing and great evening sunlight and created this story….

You may recall my recent shoot with Tumi where we shot a fun, playful ice cream story near the ocean. When I handed those images over to Tumi I found myself wondering how we were going to top that amazing story the next time we shot… for Tumi, it was easy! She decided to do…

Aisha and I were asked to photograph a series of images for Mr Price that show our connection to denim. We shot on a misty evening and created a structured story that portrayed the meaning of denim to us… Aisha cleverly styled her look inside out to show “off the structural elements of our denim…

Tokelo and I both agree that this is our favourite look of the two we shot. When people book me for shoot I always suggest two or more outfits as the first one, although still very nice, is always a bit posed or “stiff” until we move onto the second, third, fourth look and the…

Sometimes a shoot is more of an opportunity to meet someone than simply capturing some images and getting the job done! I enjoy my photoshoots where we spend most of our time chatting in-between shots whether it is getting to know each other or catching up! You can see the difference in the images where…

Before sharing my new work I thought I would post about a few of my top favorite shoots for 2014: In no specific order: Elrico & Ritza’s special day was set in the farmlands, surrounded by vineyards. We shot in perfect light which resulted in a lot of soft, warm images. I photographed Courtney…

I recently photographed a personal shoot for Thea. It was her first time modelling and she did an amazing job. We had fun shooting a soft, lifestyle look and then finishing off the shoot in studio with a black studio AND white studio look. What was your favourite look? Tweet me @tegzphotography x0x0
